Frustrated with botting.

[Goose]

Like I get it, it makes a hard game a little easier. Some scripts are cool, like the Cellblock script that helps you not be a dumbdumb or the script that puts little shop wizard, jellyneo, trading post etc icons under items. But at the same time, I don't have a million accounts. I don't have a fancy VPN. I don't bot. I play Neopets and I acquire my stuff through legit means. So when I'm waiting for 6 hours, 8 hours to get in my daily whatever, to be unable to do so because some person decided it would be easier to bot so I can't is a big fuck you to my genuine effort.

What kind of bot is preventing you from doing your dailies? Genuine question.
AFAIK the only things that bots would make it harder for legit players to do would be restocking, kads, game trophies?

You're barking up the wrong tree. We're not all cheaters, but having a go at cheaters here isn't going to garner you any sympathy. Also, someone else botting doesn't stop your dailies.

Welcome to Clraik! The Neopets cheating forum

I took a look at the daily list via JN and am genuinely confused on what daily a bot could do that puts you behind 6 or so hours. Is there a specific or custom daily you have set outside of most normal dailies that you're referring to? The only thing I can think of that may put you behind is when people spam the money tree for hours. Even then though, they do that by hitting the donate button a million times and aren't botting.

Other than that, no daily should take legitimate hours to complete.

I mean--I'd prefer to not have a job and be able to compete with all the stay at home mom's on neopets :/

Bots even the playing field LOL

Oh Lord, honestly? Just like cellblock script helps you not be a dumbdumb in that game, botting in everything helps you not to be a dumbdumb at everything xD

But jokes aside, i honestly don't know why botting has been hurting you so much because even though i do get that restocking, kad feeding and getting trophies might be a bit harder because of it, they aren't that much, I've fed kads recently after being pwned 4 times on the same main, I've a friend that restocks really amazingly with no programs and with our third world shitty internet connection and even games trophies, nowadays (aka the last 4 years), the game pontuation for trophies have been so low because of the small traffic on the site, i remember making legitly a score of 16k+ at ice cream machine and getting no trophy and i think a trophy for it has been about the avatar score for the last 2/3 years even later in the month.

And to bot you don't necessarily need fancy proxies or million accounts, obviously someone that invests more, both time and money will be better but you will still be able to make your millions every month just by playing food club/trudy's and using literally 5 minutes of your day doing it.

And when i used to bot 13 main accounts daily (using the amazing stealth core for 90% of the things) but also logging into all 13 daily to do the other clicks that i prefer to do manually, it would take me less than 2 hours daily to do all 13 accounts, so i honestly can't think of how you claim you are 6/8 hours behind.

And even just playing legit, last neopets events all of the better items on release day have been 500k/1m+, so even without botting you can make tons easily.

And you are so proud of being 'legit' but knowing the cellblock and quick link scripts, let me tell you that using 1 or 1000 scripts is still considered being illegit the same way xD

Are you going for the Neoquest I or II race trophies? Because nothing else on Neopets should take 6-8hrs of your time. If it is just a random trophy, tough nuts.

For all we know, the person who beat you for whatever put in more genuine effort and time. If they were botting, and you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or maybe try again in a week when high scores reset instead of complaining about cheating on a cheating forum

I think you lost most of us with that last sentence.

It's great seeing the community respond so well here.

Edit: Thinking more... maybe you're upset it takes you 6-8 hours to do your dailies, but a fraction of that for the botters? Why do you need to worry about how long it takes someone else to do their dailies? Worry about your game. It's pretty childish to think this way.
